Presenting a new mod for Sacred 2 CM 1.50:

Diablo 2 Fallen

Features:

Completely overhauled character classes with brand new voices, combat arts, runes and skills

New deities and divine gifts

New Diablo-inspired user interface and loading screens

Complete soundtrack and sfx revamp

New item types and overhaul to old items and modifers

Enemy design tweaks, new hero monsters, and bosses

New quests (possibly)

Elite Mounts included (hopefully)

Built-in support for Wardust's Serious Textures Mod

This is just a teaser post for now, more detailed info will come later in periodic updates. This isn't just an idea, it IS happening, I'm putting the finishing touches on the final character class now. After months of working on it I finally got it to a state where I feel confident that I can release it no matter what.

 

 

Flix, this is insane, I love it!! Mouth's stuck open staring at the work here, lush, vivid , RELEVANT...

 

Bravo friend!!

Thank you.

They're coming. Soon pictures and videos will rain from the sky.

 

 

Epic.

 

What will be the installation requerments?

 

Just CM Patch 1.50. It will use the Generic Mod Enabler as always. Wardust's Texture Mod will be recommended but optional. Item Mod 1.2a hotfix should be installed beforehand it to get the restored item models but again, not neccessary. The surface.txt fix will be included anyway. The mod won't be compatible with much of anything else because so many game files are touched by D2F. But it will include difficulty adjustments comparable to the Survival Mod so there shouldn't be much that players would be wanting to have installed alongside it anyway. The music I'll make a separate download since it will have a large file size.

Thank you. When I was looking through spells.txt for the Wiki pages and later when working on Enhanced Spells, I saw a lot of unused potential. Eventually I thought, "There's enough stuff here to make a whole separate set of Combat Arts." I think of Diablo 2 as the father of the modern action RPG that will know and love today. It was the start of my addiction. Its iron-clad reputation alone ensured that Diablo 3 was a bestseller despite some...questionable design choices. And now it passed its 14th anniversary this year. I thought if there was any game worthy of being recreated, it would be this classic game.

[Ironwill 135]

Sounds cool.There are already abilities identical to diablo 2 such as Inquisitor's corpse explosion,warrior's leap and summon skeletons,high elf's teleport and such.I think it will be great update improving High Elf's horrible lightning damage capacity.
Inquisitor as Necromancer is also nice and Seraphim as Paladin.

If you also add this

 

I'll buy it at a high price lol


A question I forgot to ask:
Would it be too complex to make a 5 level descending underground levels as a mod?
Cathedral,Catacombs,Hell etc

Every time when I think Sacred is fine, now after CM-Patch 1.50, You show up with something brand new which just make me want it immediately!

But I know that I will have to wait patiently, but I also will follow closely the progress and up-dates!

[Dorimil 224]

based on cm 1.50! great...I dont want to miss that anymore, so I am looking forward to this...looks awesome so far

[podgie_bear 184]

Drool!

[SX255 630]

By the way, did anyone ever try mod changing the landscape of the game?

Put a building here, an island there...

[gogoblender 3,199]

Flix, do you already have voice actors?

 

 

gogo

Natalie "Seraphim"Duke http://nataliedukevoiceover.com/
Pat "Inquisitor" Duke - www.patduke.com/

They are accepting online requests,I think

For High Elf and Shadow Warrior(both have fb accounts) while Temple Guardian only seem to have linked.in account and no personal websites.

If you decide to add new voices with new actors,I would like to pay a portion too

That song's in place. Soundtrack will include the entirety of Diablo 1 + 2 and will have tracks from Torchlight 1 & 2 (same composer Matt Uelman) to fill out the soundtrack.

Can't be done sadly. Objects and creatures only.

My plan is to use voice clips from the Diablo games actually. I've already done the character intros that way. As for the in-game bits, there probably won't be enough to cover all the things that are said. I'll figure something out.

[Ironwill 135]

will you use existing models or modified models? I mean dark skinned dragon mage can look like paladin.What about others?

[VAMPIRE 86]

New creatures will change textures, or are completely new. With 150 cm and wardust mod, new textures animals have disappeared.
I have prayed a lot Crom, for you.

You're forgetting one very important thing, and that is the armor. If this were a game like Diablo 2, Baldur's Gate, Titan Quest or most any other game, where the same armor is adapted for any character that wears it, I would do that. The problem with swapping the character models though is that the class's armor wouldn't fit anymore. I would have to go through thousands of pieces of Seraphim armor and meticulously edit them all to fit the Dragon Mage's model. Or else I could throw away all the Seraphim armor and have the Druid and Paladin wearing all the same things. Or else make 10+ entirely new sets of armor from scratch, which would take years.

 

So swapping is out. Small alterations to the character models and armor are possible though. However, I'm mostly making the visual transition by editing textures.

I don't really have the skill to make entirely new creature models. Mostly will be retextured and resized enemies. There are also some unused enemies and enemy spells in the game files I can activate. I also thought it would be cool to make more enemies with Diablo 2 powers, such as resurrecting their team mates and exploding corpses.

[Gilberticus 374]

Maybe a new set of armor or two would be a nice project some day for someone eager to get their feet wet, if you decide to pass on the torch instead of just calling it quits, Flix.

[VAMPIRE 86]

Flix, have you some names of creatures that have not been activated in the base game?

looking great Flix!

[Dragon Brother 619]

Impressive work Flix. Looking forwards to more details!

[Steerpike1 53]

That really is impressive work, Flix. Good luck with completing it.

[VAMPIRE 86]

Good night brave warriors. Flix, how your mod will use the Wardust's Serious Textures Mod. I use it without the text files. Small Kobold replacing the rats do not like me. The rest is great. But the graphics of my zombies has not changed. Must use all your text files such as surface.text. It will be included in your mod?
